Verdict

The handicapper will catch up with Alcaeus at some stage and he'll be a short price here. A four-timer is still a possibility for Sir Mark Prescott's colt but this is a little more competitive than recent starts. Afro scrambled home on soft ground on her reappearance at Lingfield when Vandross finished third but NATEEJA is another who has improved since stepping up in trip. She got outpaced over 1m4f when fifth at Lingfield last time so the extra quarter-mile today should be right up her street. Deficit and Alshan Fajer have place claims again and look best of the rest.

Afro 7-1 (9-7) Chased leaders, pushed along over 5f out, driven to challenge over 3f out, led over 2f out, headed over 1f out, soon rallied, kept on under pressure to lead close home, won at Lingfield 1m 3f 3yo hcp 0-60 (6) sft in May beating Whitefall (8-8) by shd, 10 ran.

Nateeja (IRE) 6-1 (9-3) Close up in 5th, pushed along over 3f out, ridden and no impression over 2f out, edged right and outpaced inside final 2f, stayed on again inside final furlong, never going pace to threaten, 5th of 14, 4l behind Getaway Car (9-2) at Salisbury 1m 4f 3yo hcp 0-65 (6) gd in May.
